Please discuss the reasons for these variations.
Answer: The data, as we have previously disused, was
erroneously taken from several budgets and no answer is really necessary.
Off;,ce of Training
a. Cstion: Please provide schedule of numbers of COT's
per year 1964 through 1966. Alen cite attrition experience of COT
trainees over the past two years. (In other words, I am interested
to what might reasonably be construed as excessive attrition in this
program, as compared with general Agency turnover. )
Answer: During Fiscal Year 1964 the number of trainees
averaged 206, During Fiscal Year 1965 the number will average 274.
During Fiscal Year 1966 an average strength of 306 is contemplated.
The loss rate during Fiscal Year 1963 was 9 per cent, the . s rate
during Fiscal Year 1964 was 5.3 per cent, and the loss rate projected
on the basis of Fiscal Year 1965 experience tau far suggests a prob-
able figure of about 4 per cent. T e attrition for COT'+s is about one-
half the Agency average for individuals at comparable grades and ages.
b. _Question: How many COT's are in training at any one time
under the above schedule.
Answer: Under present and projected schedules the n

$=, 000 for Agency-wide nominee or quota type curses, such as the
War Colleges, the Harvard Advanced Management program and others.

This, however, did not Include all Governmental external training
programs. The additional $150, 000 is required largely for the
budgettag of Governmental training programs not set up on a quota
or nominee basis plus the added expenses anticipated in connection
with the Agency's Mtdcareer Training Program.
e. Question: Is OTR budgeting for the costs of training which
another Agency component might also be budgeting for in 1966, e. S.
WIi Division?
Answer: No, the Division Is budgeting for this Item.
4. Office of Medical Services
a. Question: 7be budget states that consultation will be provided
In the fields of urology, gynecology and orthopedic medicine. Is the pro-
vision of this We of consultative service In keeping with general govern-
mem If it Is net, are there special reasons why the Agency should
so provide in its medical program?
Answer: 7be Agency's consultative approach is a metes of
obtaining irnmedtatu diagctsls to ficititate medical clearances for over-
awaa d ny of a stressfAd and sensitive nature. Many of the employees so
mined will not again come in contact with medical facilities until their
return from overseas duty.

c. Qeestton: Reference is made to special study an detection
Illnesses. Is this effort an application of medical research
c feted outside the Agency or does it refer to basic medical
Bch which might apply to th general populatio?
Answer: No, this is not an application of medical research
already conducted outside the Agency. No governmental or private
medical facility has access to personnel subjected to the stresses and
strains of Agency and clandestine activities. For the same reason, the
special study does not apply to basic medical research performed in the
g 'al p lation.
